GDT: Game XX • RUSSELLMANIA • Hawks @ Oilers • 7:00PM • SN

Talbot is unreal.

 

[McPuritania]

Old man Panarin gets stymied.

 

[Old Boys Club]

anyone worried Russell gets picked up in expansion?

Its a definite possibility. One thing that we have going is that he is from Alberta and might not be so keen in moving to LV. Then again, money talks and LV can offer him more than the Oilers if they are dead set on getting him.

 

[Del Preston]

anyone worried Russell gets picked up in expansion?

He's an FA.

 

[McPuritania]

anyone worried Russell gets picked up in expansion?

He isn't eligible I believe. I'm no expert, but he'll be considered a free agent then, won't he?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Ekblad also has mush for brains this season thanks to that World Cup hit.

Also the hit from Hendricks, incidentally enough. (Not that I'm bashing the hit)

 

[walktheboulavard]

He's going to be a free agent. Vegas gets first crack at negotiations, but I am pretty sure he wants to sign with us. Just a matter of money and term.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

At this point, I have zero confidence in Eberle scoring when he's alone in front.

EDIT: HOWEVER, I bet he explodes around game 30 and gets like 20 points in 16 games or something past that point. It'll be a starting late type of thing.

 

[DrDrai]

One timer maybe ebs

 

[bzur]

Again with Eberle being snakebitten... maaaaaan. It'll come

Well damn. I agree with remenda. It's that hesitation that he has that's hurting him. He starts ripping them right away the goals will come.. and lots

 

[McPuritania]

Eberle probably can't even **** in the toilet right now.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Eberle. Just feel bad for him now.

 

[Fairy McGodfather]

anyone worried Russell gets picked up in expansion?

Eberle will be the sacrificial lamb...

 

[Oilception]

Eberle..... Man.......

 

[Tom Collins]

Why hesitate, Eberle? Likely a goal if he just one-times it.

 

[SullivanT]

They call me old Dusty it off

 

[McDNicks17]

What happened to Toews?

Looks about as dangerous as Letestu out there.

 

[Jean Ralphio]

He is a good pick up. More immediately useful than Davidson. Him being injured again may seriously help keep him here. Who else do they pick? The only ones I can think of are Letestu or Kassian. Kassian in Vegas seems like less of a safe pick. There will be better fourth line centres available.

They could also go for close to being NHL-ready guys like Brossoit or Khaira, depending on how the rest of their roster fills out.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

eberle literally serves no purpose

 

[oobga]

Stop this man, Larsson is brilliant D man.

Hey, I've defended Larsson's game a lot since the Hall trade, and I continue to like him, but he does defer to Klef a lot. And I don't think it's because he can't make good plays, I think he just needs to build more some confidence.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Couldn't even put it on net. Come on Ebs!

 

[nally]

Schmaltz

Just picked him up in part of a deal in my keeper league. Looking good.

Wow nice glove by Talbot

 

[Ssseth]

I haven't been onboard with all the Eberle bashing but man has he blew a few golden chances tonight.

 

[Pointteen]

With Campbell being in FLA the last few years, I sorta forgot how well he moves with the puck. Adds incredible speed to the backend. Fun player to watch.

I have fantasies about him wearing blue and orange.

 

[Zaddy]

Eberle just can't score right now
